SHE REJECTED THE CHINAMAN.
Then Lee Wing Hing Went Crazy-A
Joliet Sunday School EniSOde

Then Lee Wing Hing Went Crazy-A
Joliet Sunday School Episode.
dispatch from Joliet, Ill, to the New York
World says: Lee Wing Hing, a toerably good
looking laundryman of this place, was taken to
Chicago for medical treatment, having become
bowling and dangerous maniac through unre-
Quilted love for his female Sunday School teacher
For over a year Lee has been attending Sunday
school here in company VITA four other almond
eyed pupils, and during this time, while making
but slow progress in his religious studies, he
gave evidence of unusual aptitude in making
love to his fair teacher. At different times he
lavished his affection on several of the young
ladies' and in one case even went so far as to in
vest a considerable sum in diamond ring which
he presented to his fair enSlavor pro TEN. The
presentation however, came to the notice of the
pastor who ordered the girl to return the bauble,
much to Lees astonishment.
A week ago last Sunday, Lee, who had by this
time succumbed to the charms of fourth di-
vinity, proposed marriage to her. The girl,
tcked by the novelty of the offer, did not de-
clire at once but said she would let him know
in a week. Last Sunday she told her Celestial
admirer that she never could be his. Lee at
once left the school, and proceeding to a neigh
boring opium joint entered upon desperate de-
bauch. The spree lasted until yesterday, when
the laundryman, brandishing huge knife, sud
denly appeared on the street and threatened to
carve any one who approached him. He charged
up and down the streets for some time terroriZ-
ing all who came in his way but finally police
man gave him a tap on the head with a locust,
and before Lee could recover his already befud-
died senses he was handcuffed and locked up.
To-day he was taken TO Chicago by a wealthy
relative for medical treatment. AS he was being
bundled into the train he exclaimed: Mclean
gal no good! Lee go crazy! Too bad!'

Null and Void?

A special from Pensacola says that some
of the best lawyers of that city hold that
all the acts of the recent session of the Leg
islature of that State are null and void
for the reason that the Senate was not
legally organized. The point made is this:
The new constitution provides that the Sen
ate shall elect one of it's own members per-
manent President, and that no person hold
ing a lucrative Federal or State office shall
hold the position.
Lieut.. Gov. Mabry presided over the SEN
ate. The provision of the new constitution
requiring the election of a member of the
Senate for permanent President was not
complied with. The only excuse that Lieut.
Mabry had for presiding was that the new
constitution provides that the office of
Lieutenant Governor shall not become va
cant until after the expiration of the term
of the present incumbent, but it does not
provide that he shall preside over the SEN
ate.
The point has some merit, but it is doubt
full if it will hold good. Doubtless it was
considered by the Senate before that body
permitted the Lieutenant Governor to pre-
side 1t is hardly probable that the provision
of the new constitution requiring the cleo
ton of a permanent officer escaped the at
tention of all the members of the Legisla-
ture, some of whom helped to frame the
new constitution. 1t is question whether
the provision of the new constitution which
continues the present Lieutenant Governor
in Office does not also, by implication,
authorize him to perform the duties which
belonged to that Office at the time of his
election.
IL able lawyers, however, consider that
the Senate was illegally organized, an effort
may be made to prevent Senator Pasco
from taking his seat when Congress meets
The United States Senate is very close, and
the Republicans would not be slow to seize
upon any legitimate excuse to keep Dem
ocratic Senator out of his seat.

If the chronicles of the past are worthy of
credence, lovers quarrels in olden times
we're frequent, but it was seldom that they
resulted in bloodshed. As rule they were
affairs of but moment, or, at the most, of
but few days. Anger soon gave way to
the gentler passion, and kisses sealed the
newly-made peace. When a maiden re-
jected a sutton he sometimes grew thin and
pale from disappointment, but it was not
often thai his despair caused him to take
his own lif" and still less often that insane
rage led hi } take the life of the maiden
who had rejected him.
AT the present lovers quarrels not infre-
quently result seriously. Suicide on account
of disappointment in affairs of the heart is
quite common. Rejected suitors seem to be
the prey of the worst passions, for they
often kill the maidens for whom they had
but little while before protested the mos t
ardent affection
A shocking tragedy, which illustrates the
proneness of rejected suitors to commit
murder, occurred the other day in Putnam
county, Tenn. Near Cookeville, in the
county just mentioned, there lived a
well-to-do farmer named William
Davis. He had daughter Just budding into
womanhood, who was a favorite with all
who knew her. Among her admirers was
young man named John w. Green, who had
long paid her devoted attention He was
deeply in love with her, or, at least, he pro
tested that he was, and finally asked her to
marry him. The young lady, it seems, did
not entertain tender feeling for him, but,
on the contrary, bestowed her affections on
another young man of the neigh
borhood, whom she agreed to mar
ry. Such was the strength of
young Green's love for her, that after all his
pleadings and avowals of undying affection
for her had proved unavailing he was driven
to the point of desperation. Rather than
see her become the wife of another he pre-
ferred to see her die and then to put an end
to his own existence Armed with pistol
he sought her, and asked her once more
to marry him. She again refused
He then drew the pistol and
deliberately shot her dead. He
followed this dreadful act with en- attempt
to take his own life, but although he fired
four balls into his body he failed to carry out
his purpose He was carried home in dan
gerous condition, but his mother refused to
send for physician, saying that if her son
should recover he would be hanged.
Perhaps if parents would be more careful
about the male associates of their daughters
there would be fewer tragedies like that
Just described.

AN UNEXPECTED GUEST.
A Monkeys Escapade in a Restaurant
in New York City.

a monkey EScdpdQ0 IN a heSJdurdllb
in New York City.
From the Neto York Eve1ino sun.
A little man with pleasant smile and a far
away look in his eyes quietly seated himself in
Richard Faulkner's restaurant on Chambers
street, at noon and gave his order to one of Mr..
FaullSner's walters. The little man brought
forth puRiC'l edition of ''She, and became so
much absorbed in his reading that he failed to
hear the sweet strains of "Peek-a-boo" that
came floating in at the open door. He failed
also to notice that the music was produced by
that most classic of instruments, the hand
organ, and that n monkey came in with the
music.
A long rope trailed after the monkey, and
smiling son of Italy was attached to the other
end. Casting his eye about for somebody likely
to have small change the monkey deserted the
little man with book, and, softly approaching,
climbed on the table. and seating himself before
the intent reader, DOTTED his cap Still the little
man went on reading. The monkey tried to at
tract the mans attention by chattering, ana
finding himself ignored, became incensed,
whipped the book out Of the hands of the aston
ished little man, and made home run for the
door But he did not escape so easily The thin
lariat caught on the legs of table full of dishes
and glassware, upsetting it with a fearful crash
and breaking the rope in twain
The monkey, finding himself free, nimbly
mounted to the top of high cupboard and sat
chattering de6antly at his master, VINO now
stood vainly coaxing his troublesome charge to
come down from his elevated perch The little
man berated the bewildered organ-grinder for
allowing his monkey to take such liberties with
stranger. The proprietor of the restaurant
sent for step-ladder. The diners were CON
vulsed with laughter.
A ladder was brought, and a waiter climbed
after the runaway monkey, who scratched and
bit and chung to the hair of the unfortunate
man, who, however, handed him over to his
owner He was again tied to the treacherous
rope. The musician apoligized in broken Eng
lsh and hurTiedly retired, followed by. the
curses of the little man and of the prophet or,
who threatened to have the Italian arrested for
creating disturbance The novel, much the
worse for rough usage, was passed back to the
little man, who resumed his reading. The
overturned table was rghted, the broken glass
ware and crockery were gathered up, and the
dining-room took on its usual air Of quiet and
reDOSe.
